AUGUSTA, June 29.-Dr. Young, secretary
of the State Board of Health arrived from
Greenyille tonight. He reports consider
able excitement at the lake but thinks that
the small pox will probably be confined to
the one case already existing The sick
Italian is supposed to have caught the
disease from boy with whom he came
through from New York. The boy had had
the small pox there. The railroad people
say that the two came only fourteen days
ago so the infection was in New York. Or
ders were at once issued, however, on the
outbreak Of the case to take the boy, strip
him of his clothes and destroy them. The
SICK Italian belonged to a gang of 1l2 at
work in Wilson's camp, ten miles from
Greenville. As soon as he was taken sick he
was sent to Greenville. The chances of con-
tagion then, besides the boy who has been
attended to as efficiently as possible, are
three from the gang left in camp, from the
route along which the sick man was carried
and from his present hospital As to the
first chance Dr. Young says that no depar-
lures are known to have taken place from
the camp and that prompt measures are be-
ing taken to prevent any. The men were
te be all vaccinated to-day whether they
wished or not. In case more cases do occur
In that camp they will be attended to there
and strictly quarantined in hospital al
ready arranged. As to the second chance
DIR. Young says there is no possibility that
the disease could have been spread while
the man was being brought out of the woods
The third chance would be in the present
quarters of the man. He is in camp in the
woods three quarters of mile from West
Cove, Greenville. Two nurses, one for day
and one for night, do not leave the camp.
Around the camp sentinels, armed with
rifles, keep watch day and night. The sight
OF the shooting irons has had good effect
In keeping Italian relatives from visiting
the man. A nephew with admirable dev0-
tion begged to see DR.. Young for piece of
paper that would admit by the guard to the
bedside of his uncle. He was refused how
ever.
DR.. Sweat, medical director of the Cana
dian Pacific, is on the grounds and cooper
ating harmoniously with the local board of
health The new law passed last winter
gives just the needed law to enable the au-
thorities of Greenyille to take satisfactory
precautions. Beyond the limits of the town
in the wild woods the strong arm of the
Canadian Pacific will make law enough.
When the case first broke out alarming
rumors spread in the camps to the westward
of the lake and large numbers of the men
struck, but when the exact state of affairs was
explained to them they quietted down. DIR.
Young says there is no danger at Greenville,
A1,-A -.
to visit Kineo. The small pox trouble is
confined to the Wilson camp, ten miles east
ward and measures have been taken to nip
the contagion in the bud there. The sick
man was doing well when Dr. Young left
Greenville and seemed to have fair chance
of recovery.

Very many people who have witnessed the
wonderful performance of Prof. Burton's
dog circus at the Opera House during the
past week, desire to know the method by
which he teaches the dogs to do so many
things. Professor Burton has been engaged
some fifteen years in training dogs, goats
and ponies. His circus numbers 80 dogs
The dog which has been under training the
longest time is ten years old. He Is the
clown in the circus. The next oldest Is the
summersault dog. Some three years ago the
Professor became connected with a show in
New York. During his stay in that city
some miscreants poisoned nine Of his most
valuable dogs in the night time, and he was
obliged to purchase new lot and spend
months in teaching them to perform the
wonderful tricks witnessed here at the Opera
House. 1t requires the continuous work of
six months 10 educate one dog, and quite
frequently whole year Is consumed. The
method by which he accomplishes the de-
sired object Is simply patience, perseverance
and kind treatment, combined with a good
judgment. Prior TO coming to Maine some
five weeks ago, the Professor had with his
dog circus an educated trick pony and goat.
The latter was the clown and he performed
his part admirably. While giving an exhibi-
tion at Providence, Il. l., the goat met with
the same fate Of his nine favorite dogs at
New York.
